Press Release:
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Nov. 21, 2017
 
Former Berkeley College Republican President Sues Yvette Felarca, leader of By Any Means Necessary for over $100,000 in damages
 
Hayward, Calif. -- Former president of the Berkeley College Republicans, Troy Worden, filed a motion for over $100,000 worth of damages against Yvette Felarca, today.

Felarca is a national organizer for the organization By Any Means Necessary (BAMN) and the leader of the Berkeley chapter, which aligns itself with AntiFa. 

Felarca filed a frivolous restraining order that restricted Worden's First and Second Amendment rights and made it difficult for him to move around the campus to attend classes. The restraining order was dismissed on Oct. 27, 2017.

Worden also asked the court to sanction Felarca's attorney, Shanta Driver, who is the National Chair and founder of the organization BAMN. As an attorney and as the National Chair of BAMN, Driver should have known that the motion was frivolous and that it was brought for the improper purpose of restricting Worden's rights.

Felarca is twice-over out on bail for charges of assault, resisting arrest, and inciting a riot.

"I am glad that we are no longer playing defense and that we are finally going after BAMN for filing this frivolous action," Worden said.

"Felarca and her attorney attempted to make free speech expensive and it is time that they pay for their misuse of the court system," said Worden's attorney at the Dhillon Law Group Mark Meuser.

"This case represented a massive imbalance in power in that we had a poor college student about to lose his constitutional rights because a massive organization had the resources to try to crush him in court," said Dhillon Law Group managing partner Harmeet K Dhillon. "The Dhillon Law Group is proud that we could help level the playing field and turn the tables." 

Both Worden and Felarca have been high-profile figures in the ongoing battle for free speech at Berkeley, and both have been interviewed by Fox News’ Tucker Carlson.
